Four adolescent girls each spend their youth in the same farmhouse over the last century. Though separated by decades, resonances between their lives emerge: their desires and distress, secrets and truths, encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return.

Exquisitely well-crafted and laced with mordant humor, Sound of Falling is a haunting generational drama that announces Mascha Schillinski as a world-class directorial talent.

'Sound of Falling' is a visually stunning masterpiece with magnificent cinematography and evocative, dreamlike atmosphere that some find profoundly thought-provoking. However, the film deeply divides audiences with its extremely confusing non-linear plot, exhaustingly slow pacing, and excessive two-and-a-half-hour runtime. Many found the relentlessly dark tone and deliberately perplexing structure tedious rather than engaging, leaving theaters drained and bewildered, while a passionate minority praised its maddening brilliance and haunting artistic vision.
